November 02, 2025 Seneca’s Letter 5 to Lucilius: Don’t Show Off, Be Real
This is a simplified version of Seneca’s fifth letter to Lucilius, written over 2,000 years ago. A timeless reminder: don’t live to impress others — live with integrity. Be sober, but not extreme. Stand out from within, not by your looks. Philosophy isn’t about showing off; it’s about cultivating virtue and common sense.

October 12, 2025 #35 - Kosmos (Swedish)
I detta avsnitt förlorar jag mig i universums oändlighet: stjärnor, galaxer, obesvarade frågor och det osannolika miraklet som är livet på jorden. Inspirerad av Carl Sagans bok Cosmos från 1980, reflekterar jag över vår djupa koppling till universum och människans eviga längtan efter förståelse. En resa fylld av förundran, vetenskap och tillhörighet.
